Elburn is a village in western Kane County set among Blackberry Creek drainage rather than the Fox River, so its FEMA flood exposure is tied to that creek corridor. Much of the community sits on higher ground away from the low areas. A surveyed elevation is what identifies the parcels the maps actually touch.
A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents your building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation on the FEMA flood map. Insurers use it to rate flood policies and communities use it to confirm floodplain compliance; it can also support a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) to remove a structure from a flood zone.

Elburn, population near 6,175, is centered in Blackberry Township with reach into Kaneville Township, within Kane County. Blackberry Creek and related tributaries drain the area toward the Fox River, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here follow those creek corridors. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, prepared by a licensed Illinois surveyor, documents a building’s lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation so insurers can rate flood coverage, the village can confirm floodplain-permit compliance, and owners can support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Elburn parcels are recorded with the Kane County Recorder in the county seat of Geneva.
Elburn lies west of the Fox and drains through Blackberry Creek, so its flood exposure follows that creek corridor rather than a Fox riverfront.
It’s FEMA’s form on which a licensed surveyor certifies a building’s elevations relative to the Base Flood Elevation, used for insurance, permits and map amendments.
If it shows the lowest floor above the Base Flood Elevation, that measurement can support a better rate and possibly a Letter of Map Amendment.
